Use Annotations to Enhance Screen Sharing

Sometimes talking end-users through a training or support process can be too limiting. Plus, when you show someone how to do something rather than do it for them, you reduce repeat help requests. If you're in a view-only mode without remote control, just being able to chat with the end-user may not cut it. That’s why BeyondTrust lets you enhance screen sharing sessions with annotations.

Then erase your mark-up and move on to the next step.
